<<Ya, use the Print Screen key. Windows by default captures it (the screen)
to the

One of the oldest Windows pranks on the books is to walk by somebody's idle
PC, hit the PrintScrn button, and then pull the image from the Clipboard
into Paintbrush. You have to fiddle with the image attribute Options to get
the image size right, (about 11x11 comes to mind) and you have to go into
Edit and turn off the palette and the toolbar, but when you're done, you
should have a beautiful screenshot of their desktop. Only if they click on
any icon, nothing happens. Good training for screen captures on slow Friday
afternoons.
